I try to set a static IP address (192.168.2.1)
here the output of ifconfig

The actual content is :
# interfaces(5) file used by ifup(8) and ifdown(8)
auto lo
iface lo inet loopback1 Answer
Append the following to /etc/network/interfaces to assign a static address to enp3s0 device:
auto enp3s0
iface enp3s0 inet static address 192.168.2.1 netmask 255.255.255.0 network 192.168.2.0 broadcast 192.168.2.255 gateway <your-router-ip-address-goes-here> dns-nameservers 1.1.1.1 8.8.8.8
